NEWARK, Jan. 12.-The all absorbing
topic in this town to-day has been CON
tended in the deliberations of the stock
holders of the Dean Wooden Company,
but as far as known little satisfaction was
derived by the psople as the affairs are in
a decidedly chaotic state. Ii is almost
impossible to learn anything of the bust
ness or future plans of this corporation
and as William Dean the treasurer refuses
to impart any information to tue press
the people OF Newark will remain unen

ion.

II is known, although denied by the
officers of the company, that there is

nature of which is not known is the
cause of this uncertainty. 1t is generally

NEWARK, Jan. 17.--An arrest in this
town is such an unusual occurrence that
a crowd of men and boys in the streets
surrounding Squire McKeowan's Office
yesterday morning attracted much interest
and curiosity from the church goers. II
proved to be the arrest and incarceration
of one poor lone italian in the dismal
prisoners cell in the basement of
the Exchange Hall, for stealing. The
facts are briefly as follows: For several
days the Waterman at the ruins of the
burned Dean wooden mills has noticed the
mysterious disappearance of wool and
unfinished cloth from the dye
and dry house which alone es
capped destruction at the late fire.
A watch was placed to catch the
thieves, and yesterday morning the watch
man discovered five or six Italians acting
suspectably on the premises, and hs i'm
medistely notified William Dean, who in
the role of detective and policeman in
tended to capture the whole number. In
this he failed, for all escaped but
one, ana be was only captured
and subdued by free use of
Mr.. Deans fist. A preliminary hearing
was held before Squire MoKeowan and
the evidence was so damaging that he was
remanded to Jail. The amount stolen is
not known at present, but the rest Of the
gang is being pursued with the proba-
bility of recovering much of the property.

NEWARK, Jan. IS.--Unusual interest is
being manifested this week by the tenn.
perance advocates. There are no less
than three meetings to be held in aid of
the cause. The Hon. j. G.. Kimball of
Washington will speak in the Presby-
terrain church on Thursday evening, and
Miss Frances Willard will make her first
appearance here in the college oratory on
the following evening. 1t is safe to say
that large audience will be attracted to
hear this talented speaker. She is known
as the president and executive head of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
which embraces over zoo, 900 members
President Caldwell, the Rev. O. W.
Prettyman, and the Rev. George j. Porter
will deliver addresses at the meeting to
be held in the M. E. Church on Satur-
day night under the auspices of the New
ark Lodge of Good Templars.
The colored population is worked mp
into state of intense religious feeling
over the teachings of an old blind colored
preacher, who is nightly drawing excited
crowds to amuse them with a recital of
his various evils and vicissitudes. 1t is
said that they have given him money, so
deeply are they affected. Among his
almost supernatural experiences is re-
cital Of an attempt of band of south
erners to hang him. The rope broke
three times, when he was shot and buried
under the sod to the depth of six feet,
but he came to life and dug himself out.
This is only one of his preposterous ad-
ventures. The other colored church is
demoralized, and in the meantime he is
collecting money and swindling the
people. His name is Ford, and he claims
to hail from Georgia.

A Pioneer Firm.

III n person were to ask for the best
known firm in western Washington
handling musical Instruments and
sewing machines, four out of five of
the old settlers would name A. l..
Davis & Son, of Spokane Falls. For
the past ten years the head of the firm
has been in this business in Washing
ton territory, and is now almost con-
tinually on the go, travelling over
Washington, Idaho and Oregon in
the interest of the house. Pianos,
organs, musical merchandise and
sewing machines are the articles
handled by the firm, and they carry
full lines of the best makes. In pi
amos and organs. us we'll as all other
lines, they are prepared to give the
best of terms, as they deal direct with
the manufacturers, and are therefore
enabled to sell at lower prices than
those who deal through Wholesale
houses. They have the exclusive sale
of the Estey organ, recognized as
the best made, for Washington terri
tory. Where buyers prefer, goods
are sold on the installment plan. Be-
sides the larger class of musical in
struments, large assortment of vio-
lins, guitars, banjos, and smaller
wind and string instruments are car
ried in stock. Also stock of general
musical merchandise. Persons de-
sirous of obtaining anything in that
line will not go amiss in calling upon
A. l.. Davis u Son for what they
want.
Besides the above, the firm are gen.
eral agents for the old reliable White
sewing machine, favorite of all who
use them. The satisfaction given by
these machines has enabled the firm
to build up large trade, for which
their facilities are constantly being
extended. Supplies of all kinds for
every known machine are also kept
constantly on hand

not no difficult undertaking at this time
to place sufficient number OF shares Of
the company with outside capitalists, and
To devote th proceeds to systematic Inn

tory arrangements for power or tho prop

q man with ordinary means more to pay
for his property and to develop special
water power for himself than his capital
would amount To-. This explains In
measure the fact that several new con-
Germs In the city are using steam power.
The condition In which the water power
OF Spokane Falls at present Is, yields to
its owners nothing In the way OF an in

benefit Of what power he himself uses.

A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING ON
A VERY CONSERVA-
TIVE BASIS.
Suggestions Worthy Of the
Most Careful Consid-
GRAFTON.
ny PAUL. 4. MOItR.

Some years ago, In attempting to or
gaulze a syndicate or corporation to pur.
chase and systematically improve aud
.utalize the water power OF Spokane
Falls. I devoted great deal OF time to
obtaining statistics in relation to this sub
ject. I have had almost daily inquiries
as to various points OF information relating
to this subject, by residents as well rs to
strangers, many OF them correspondents
Of newspapers and trade journals. on
account OF the longtim which has elapsed
since occupied my mind with that sub
ject, aud the Intervention OF other busi-
ness, which occupied all my time, II has
been rather difficult to keep these various
statistics at my fingers ends, I was
again recently requested by the acting
secretary Of tho board Of trade to furnish
information relating to this subject, with
view OF making an endeavor to consoli-
date, IL possible, the various water power
interests III such manner as to permit an
economical and general plan Of utalizinR
the splendid water power Of this city. I
was also requested to touch upon the
main features Of the development OF the
manufacturing industries Of this city. 10
all of these l most cheerfully respond
only regretting that my time Is so much
iaken up that cannot do the subject full
justice.
A gentleman representing an eastern
investment company, who had seen the
falls last spring during high water and
who saw them few daysago at low water
mark, seemed to feel very much concern
ed about the diminutlon OF power by low
water and asked me il there was not some
danger that Spokane Falls would get into
the same position as Minneapolis with her
water power, !. e., that at it's lowest stage,
tho Minneapolis power was so limited
that steam was substituted, especially as
the power for Touring mills had to be an
equable and constant power, and conse-
qllently that the minimum power had
necessarily to be the ruling factor In this
